Due to COVID-19 and in keeping with the Coronavirus restrictions as outlined by the Province of Nova Scotia, although staff will be working, the Old Courthouse Museum and Visitor Information Centre WILL NOT be open to the public at this time.
We will update the hours and any changes to our operations based on the direction, advice, and recommendations of Nova Scotia’s Chief Medical Officer and the Government of Nova Scotia. We will have the appropriate protocols in place to ensure the safety of both staff and visitors (if and when we can welcome visitors again).
Thank you for your continued interest and support as we navigate our way into 2021.
Museum staff will be onsite, working on long term projects, on weekdays from 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM daily beginning Monday May 24, 2021.
You are encouraged to contact us with any questions you may have related to our historical and genealogical role. We will be happy to assist you with your inquiries. The Visitor Information Centre will still be available by phone or email to address your travel related questions. Currently the Province of Nova Scotia has put in place COVID-19 travel restrictions (https://novascotia.ca/coronavirus/travel/).
